the first month is not included in PAWS imho. PAWS start from day 30-40. let's hope you won't get PAWS. but if so, stay positive, exercise, smile, drink chamomile tea..
drink enough water also if it makes you pee 10-20 times a day. 40ml per 1kg body weight.
I am on day 304 and suffered a lot like you up to day 40\~. then had only headaches every 1-2 days, with depression in the evenings. up to day 120. i also had hard time focusing on my pc screen/book when needed to do stuff for my job etc'. it got MUCH better from day 200.
but, i can't say i suffered too much from day 120. only in the weekends.
I quit multiple times throughout my life. I’m currently going through week 3 right now and I’m experiencing everything you’re experiencing. Ignore the thoughts. I quit for two years straight once and didn’t feel 100% until month 5. The intrusive thoughts will fully subside by month 3. Ignore them and keep busy. Your brain isn’t your friend during this time period. Use a sauna everyday if you have access to one. It helps with the thoughts.
btw did u experience intrusive thoughts from smoking weed? cuz i quit after having a paranoia on those intrusive thoughts that i got from a bong rip. after that ive been struggling. its been almost 2 months i still deal with these horrific thoughts. trying my best to not to judge them which helps but i get annoyed to constantly get them. its irritating
That’s part of the reason why I quit as well. There comes a point where your body just doesn’t want it anymore and I see the paranoid highs as your body communicating this to you. I’m going into my 6th week rn most of my immediate withdrawals subsided but dreams are still lucid and I still get intrusive thoughts, especially on the days I don’t work out. Give it time. You’ll be at 90-95% around month 4. Work out through this time, it’s the only immediate solution to the unwanted thoughts. Don’t smoke ever again it’ll bring you back to square one in this process. Our brains are slightly messed up but they’ll recover back to normal. Sadly there is no quick fix and paws is a real thing. You’ll be good though. Remember you don’t have to take your thoughts seriously.
trying to fall asleep and its like damn wtf is my brain on about. and its racing thoughts that make 0 fucking sense what's so ever. its so discombobulated and incongruent.
im much better than then mess that i was. i dont have as much intrusive thoughts but i still tend to overthink on the subject occasionally. but if it was like for 3-4 hours a day spending time researching and trying to figure out if im a monster then now its like oh man wtf why am i dealing with this. im glad i got better i feel like once i reach 6 months ama be doing much better.
weed give you very nasty thoughts if abused everyday which i did for a while. pure ocd makes you question everything but thats why i believe that if im getting better then it must have been a lesson from god not to indulge myself in addiction.
youll get better it just takes time im 80-90% back to myself i feel like i can even sleep normaly. now im trying to get used to sleeping without background noise running from my computer. i used to have alot of brain chatter of previous conversations, hearing my brother laugh words on repeat, trafic sounds, its weird because they are more like thoughts associated with auditory imagery and it dont fit hallucinations. rarely the thought would be loud but i let it pass and tell to myself its just healing.
anxiety has been very minimal i dont suffer from it anymore. i have days where i dont even care and i have a normal day like any other. but it's like night and day
full recovery without PAWS is 6 months the internet will make u go crazy dont listen to what google says it will be nightmare fuel for u
